Our Community

"I consider the teachings of the Buddha under two headings: activity & view. Activity means refraining from harming others. View refers to the principle of interdependence." HH the 14th Dalai Lama

The Interdependence Project is the only multi-lineage, secular Buddhist non-profit in New York City committed to personal development and collective engagement through contemplative practice.

In addition to our Meditation Teacher Training, Teaching Mindfulness to Children, and Lovingkindness Teacher Training programs, we offer weekly mindfulness and lovingkindness classes, host guest teachers from many different lineages, and support engaged practice with our many community events.

Our teachers train in many Buddhist lineages, and offer their guidance in meditation, ethics, and mindfulness. All share a commitment to the realization of the interdependence of all beings, leading to a world of greater harmony, compassion, and wisdom.
